Hawai sunset T1: This could be love

The sports setting added energy and stakes, but I wonder if that was a conscious choice to mirror the characters' personal growth. What do you think influenced this decision?

The chemistry was fun to read, but I was curious if the author aimed for a lighthearted tone or intended to build more suspense around the relationship.

The cultural backdrop added depth, but I wonder how much research went into capturing the environment authentically. Did the author have personal experience with this world?
